But what exactly is lifestyle newborn photography, and why should you consider it for your baby’s first photoshoot?

When I go to London clients’ homes the session is a bit different from the one I would do at my studio. When someone comes to my studio I will pose babies in those cute poses that all the parents love. They really need to be milky drunk: this way I can easily position them and it could take quite a long time.

Capturing the Authentic Moments

When I go to clients’ homes I capture candid and natural moments. Unlike traditional posed newborn photography, lifestyle newborn photography is all about capturing the raw, unscripted moments of your family’s life. It’s about freezing those genuine emotions, the candid smiles, and the tender connections that happen naturally.

Comfort and Convenience

One of the great things about lifestyle newborn photography is its convenience. There’s no need to leave the house, you are already set to go! As a London lifestyle photographer, I work with you and your baby in the comfort of your home, where you’re at your most relaxed.

A Story to Tell

Every family has a unique story to tell, and lifestyle newborn photography allows you to tell it beautifully. Whether it’s the quiet moments in the nursery, cuddles on the couch, or the excitement of introducing your newborn to their furry siblings, these photos narrate your family’s story authentically.

The beauty of lifestyle newborn photography lies in its uniqueness. These images capture your family’s love in its purest form and in your own place. One day they will be cherished memories. I know already many families that moved since I took their photos in their homes, so every time they will look back at these photos they will also think about all the lovely moments they spent there as a family, or where their family started! That is truly something special.

For more information about my London newborn photography please visit the website and get in touch. I only do a limited amount of home visits, as most of my work is studio-based. But if I have availability I’ll be delighted to create these memories for you.

Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram, there where I’m mostly active and we can easily connect.

Some moments only happen once.

The quiet before baby arrives, the way you hold your bump without thinking, the way your partner holds you.

You don’t get this chapter back, but you can keep a piece of it, in your heart and on your walls.

Maternity photos aren’t about perfection, they’re about remembering how this season felt, the anticipation, the softness, the start of everything.

If you’re expecting and already feeling how quickly time is moving, I’d love to help you hold onto this part of your story. 🤍

I’m taking maternity bookings for 2026, and I have a some availability left for this year too.

We often think of kindness as something we give to others, but it also lives quietly in the spaces between us, in patience, in listening, in how we see one another.

Every time I photograph someone, I’m reminded how powerful kindness can be.

A gentle word, a reassuring smile, or simply making someone feel seen can change the whole energy of a moment.

This World Kindness Day, let’s remember that kindness doesn’t have to be loud or grand. Sometimes it’s in the way we speak to ourselves. Sometimes it’s in the way we see another person, really see them.

Be gentle, with yourself and with others. It matters more than you know.

In a world where so much feels filtered, polished, or even AI-generated, I just want to be real.

▪️I still get nervous before shoots, even after hundreds of sessions. Every client is different, and that matters to me.

▪️I might do a small dance (or throw my arms in the air) when you book a session, because it means you’ve chosen me to tell your story.

▪️I can feel really low when bookings slow down, and yes, I get anxious when the inbox is quiet.

▪️Most days, I edit in joggers, wrapped in a blanket, with chocolate or biscuits within reach.

▪️If you don’t reply after a session, I do worry. We’ve shared such a special connection, and when I don’t hear back, my brain instantly assumes something’s wrong.

▪️I pour everything into every session so you can have the best experience possible. I feel exhausted afterwards but I know you leave feeling amazing.

▪️And yes, I’ll admit, it stings a little when you share your photos without tagging me. Because every image has a piece of my heart in it.

Photography is emotional, messy, and sometimes exhausting but it’s also so magic and rewarding.

What’s your truth? I know I’m not the only one who feels like this. Can any fellow mums or business owners relate?

You won’t find props or baskets here, just softness, light, and connection.

I believe your baby is already enough, exactly as they are.

Every sigh, stretch, and tiny breath tells the story of who they’re becoming and who you already are.

If that’s the kind of session you’ve been searching for, let’s chat.

We’re definitely speaking the same language.

Sometimes, the mirror doesn’t tell the full story, but a photograph can.

It’s not about changing how you look.
It’s about seeing yourself differently.

Every woman deserves to feel seen, not for who the world expects her to be, but for who she truly is.
